RE: Initrd modules
That's doesn't seem to be it... I came a little further since I've send
this mail. The mounting didn't go the way it should, so I'm trying romfs
instead of cramfs now, first try didn't work out.
BTW. I'm using 2.4.22

You might try adding these modules to /etc/modules, and perhaps to
have related files in /etc/modprobe.d (assuming this is a 2.6 kernel).
